This is a great park. Very large and spacious. There is a nice playground for both little and bigger kids. There are multiple baseball and soccer fields. There is also an artificial turf field. Easy access to tobacco trail entrance.

This is a pretty nice park, it has a little shelter with a couple of grills, you can have a party here. I dont know if you can reserve it or if you just first come first serve it.Reason for three stars is it takes a long time for anything to get fixed. Right now some of the little cog wheels that kids can play with are completely stuck and have been for several months. Something else always seems to be broken, and sometimes hazardous.There are a bunch of ball fields around and Im not sure who plays there. But those fields are usually busy with kids playing sports.I can entertain a 3-year-old and an 8-year-old here for about 30 minutes to an hour max.

Just discovered this gem and have eaten here twice in a week. Great pizza, fresh ingredients and friendly staff. Fresh greens and ice-cream were fantastic!!

Nice park. Trash cans needed empty. Few mud holes. Soccer feild nice. Bath house needed attention.

Fields are adequately maintained, and frequently available for public use.

Ballfields are always clean and orderly and everyone is doing a great job of social distancing and masks. Only reasons it is not 5 stars is parking. So many times you have to park on the far soccer field parking and then trek with all your baseball gear, chairs, etc to the other side of the park

Park was well maintained. Unfortunately within 10 minutes of me, my toddler and husband kicking around a soccer ball, a police officer drove past every other area (of white families) to the deserted soccer field we were in and parked near us, watching. And then didnt leave until we started packing up and got into the car. At which point the cop drove off....slowly.

Nice, peaceful, welcoming park for families. It was clean and there were parks & rec personnel on the property along with a Durham County Deputy so i felt safe.

Mostly a sports park, with multiple soccer and baseball fields with a couple picnic tables scattered about and a public bathroom.

One of our favorite spots! Great spot to workout then let kids play!

Nice park with lots of open space and things to do

Excellent park for fields and baseball and batting with an old but usable bathroom and water fountains. Great access to tobacco trail but very poor shade everywhere like the kids playground.

Nice complexWatch soccer game in

This city park in South Durham is a great place to enjoy a Little League baseball game or access the American Tobacco Trail for a walk or ride. Water and restrooms available.

Excellent, all-weather turf field. Striped and fully lighted. Bathroom is locked up during winter months

This is a pleasant park with sporting fields, a barbecue pit, a pavilion, and a playground. The fields and playground are in a decent state of repair, but theres some erosion and washout at the fire pit and the pavilion is getting a little run down. Overall, a good place to take the kids and a nice location for sporting events.

City park on land furnished by the Herndon family. Specialty here is ballfields. Restrooms open during warmer seasons, port-a-johns during colder seasons. The park also serves as a trailhead for the American Tobacco Trail.

We love to take the kids here to play on the playground, ride their scooters and walk on the trail. Family fun place!

Needs more parking spots

Nice play area for the kids!

One of our favorite playgrounds. It hits so many of the must haves and includes many more bonus features.This playground is great because it:- has easy access to water and restrooms- has big kids and little kids play equipment- has multiple shady areas for hot NC Summers- has lots of spots for caregivers to sit- has loads of close and easy parkingThis playground is AWESOME because it:- is actually a Durham City Park with soccer and baseball fields you can play on and reserve- has a picnic shelter with a grill which is, again, reservable- has lots of sidewalls curling around the park for little walks- is immediately adjacent to the American Tobacco TrailVisit this playground! You will not regret it.

Great park with a nice playground, athletic fields and Greenway access! Sometimes parking can be an issue.

Its a very nice park. Very well kept. It is very busy so not enough parking. People just park wherever they want. But I really like it.

Lots of space to share. Though groups reserve for practice, they are typically willing to share a corner for our fencing group. Field tends to stay soft along the edges for days and days after a rain.

Great park. Parking is terrible

Awesome soccer, baseball, and football field. Great place for practices and games! There is also a playground, shelter, and swing set.

Great park facility. Fields are well maintained and its only 100 yards to the American Tobacco Trail.

Clean and compact play area, but plenty of equipment to play on...

Great park for all ages. Great space and something for all the kids. They also have 2 to 3 baseball fields and soccer fields in the park.

Nice park with a good playground, lots of playing fields and access to the ATT

A really nice park in a quiet place.

Not much here, but good access to the American Tobacco Trail

Great place to walk your dog.

Beautiful park with a nice area for kids and practically new soccer field. Love it.

Lots of well-equipped playing fields for soccer and baseball. RJS

This park is actually bigger than expected. It has an entrance coming from the tobacco trail and it is in a safe wonderful neighborhood minutes away from Southpoint. The park itself has a number of baseball fields and even more soccer fields. At times you can catch a few of the nearby colleges practicing here like Elon Duke and Central. There is usually an open field, it hasnt let me down yet. It is a really good gathering place for larger sized groups. The playground area is good enough for kids to have fun and roomy enough for the parents.

Nice park to start an American Tobacco Trail ride from. Safer that Trail parking lots, and bathrooms and water as well.

We were in the Tobacco Trail. We did about 2.5 miles. Very Beautiful!

I have to assume this park is off of the American Tobbaco Road greenway. I was running with a running group and we ran by a park but I dont know the name of it. We usually us the restrooms there, in the Summer the restrooms are open around 7 am but in the Winter we have to use the port-a-johns early in the morning. But the park is usually clean and well kept.

Great city park, with 2 lighted baseball fields used for Little League Baseball, a lighted turf soccer field, a smaller turf field (field hockey size), and an open grass field near the entrance (often used for ultimate, flying kites, etc.). A concession stand building houses restrooms. Playground has a small toddler area, as well as a young kids area with swings, climbing structure & 2 slides (with mulch). There are a few picnic tables and grills (charcoal) in a wooded area in the center of the circular drive (but its not a huge space). A paved path connects to the American Tobacco Trail. Lots of parking, but during busy days with sports games, parking is crowded.

“Herndon Park is a great place for the family. It has something for everyone, which I especially like. It has one park for children, two soccer turf fields and, two baseball fields. Great for walks with friends and many more, I recommend!”

Water and bathrooms right off the ATT. Good pit stop. Also nice playground and soccer fields!

Detecting here. Not much stuff pretty clean. Nice park for all ages and sports.

Great facilities for youth sports and access to the American Tobacco Trail

Great parking and trail access.

Great park with access to the American Tobacco Trail. Bathrooms open on weekends and water fountains are active most of the year except during the colder months of the year. Larger parking lot just added across Scott King Road. Jungle gym, baseball and soccer fields.

Nice place for kids. Nice walking area also.

Great playground with several baseball/soccer fields. Includes American Tobacco Trail access with lots of parking, although the parking lot can get very full when youth sports teams are playing on the fields.

Lots of space and not too crowded

Its a nice, clean park.

Granddaughter had a great time.

This is a nice little park on the American Tobacco Trail with someone baseball fields and a playground for kids. I usually stop in for water or to use the restroom while walking the trail. The bathrooms and water fountains could be a bit better maintained. They have a small kids and big kids play area and a shaded pavilion that is a little small. I wish they would install some shade screens over the playground to keep the sun off the kids.

We have a love and hate relationship with this park. First off there isnt very much shade, so not a summer friendly park. The tiny shelter by the park isnt leveled so water collect leaving the only seating by the playground tricky to sit down. The trash can by the shelter usually smells pretty gross. Pros, it is right off the ATT. It has side walks that are hilly which are great for fast cruising on a scooter or plasma car. The restrooms are usually descent. They have a batting cage, two baseball fields, a soccer field and two multi use fields.

Spacious. The fields you have to call to rent to have nothing there

Took my 5 yr old great grandson to this park with swings, several slides and fun things to play with. There is a picnic shelter too.

Looked like a nice park, lots of sports going on.

The main field is quite nice, but usually occupied by youth sports. The other turd field is a big step down and is only serviced by one portapotty. All in all, it is well kept and the surrounding forest is nice.

Cycling meetup Carolina Tarwheels

One of the nicest sports facility parks in Durham. During Peak Seasons parking can be tough.... Otherwise wonderful place to visit.

Good spot to park car for a flat, easy run on the American Tobacco Trail. Can be very busy on weekends with soccer and baseball going on.

Great for soccer , but its really crowded during the summer , so come early to reserve fields

My son loves going out to Herndon park to play soccer with his buddies. Its a great layout and family-friendly area.

Good location, fair amount of traffic from the fields and adjacent communities. Nice paved trail for biking, running, etc. Ample space for baseball, soccer, and others. Good lighting for night activities...

Good park with great access to the American Tobacco Trail. Everything seems pretty new, which is great for facilities and equipment, but there are not a lot of shade trees at the park. Good playground for kids too.

Great park with fields for soccer, football, ultimate, etc.

Has a great outdoor play structure along with a baseball field, soccer field and football field. Very clean and open aired. Connects to the American Tobacco Trail.

Great soccer fields! Some of the best in the area! With the new renovations (2016) they added excellent full sized fields.

Great place for young and old. Filled with energy. Easy access to American Tobacco Trail.

I am new to the NC area and I was having a difficult time finding a quiet, safe road biking trail, until I happened upon Herndon Park. Though a lot of the ATT sections are a little on the sketchy side, Herndon Park is situated in the Southpoint area and real well maintained. I would highly recommend this park, for sure. I also noticed a reallly nice play area for the kids, as well as people playing baseball, a batting cage and soccer field.

Access to the American Tobacco Trail as well as a bathroom stop is a plus for this location...nice ball fields, but need to enhance playground structure it is fairly boring for our kids of varied ages 3-13.

Nice place alot of pickup games

A couple of well maintained baseball fields, a few grass soccer fields, an older turf 1/2 field and a new world class regulation turf field. All that with good bathroom facilities, playground and great parking/access to the American Tobacco Trail.

Nice playground with swings. Not a lot of shade. Good for multiple ages of kids.

Excellent facility with the artificial turf fields.

Soccer! Nice super large baseballs and soccer balls! Couldnt find a toilet. Must be one somewhere.

Nice and clean. Good place for a pit stop when riding the bike trail

It was a very nice atmosphere. .loved it!

Love this park

We play ultimate frisbee here. Great fields - grass and turf

No basketball. Lots of soccer. Good park for kids.

Soccer field, baseball, kids play area, and open fields.

Improved fields and bleachers for soccer fields. Baseball diamonds also. Picnic bench or two. Directly adjacent to American Tobacco Trail.

One of the best parks in the area easy access to the bike and walking trails. Nice ball fields.

Always clean and theres easy access to the tobacco trail. Theres a water fountain and restrooms next to the parking area.

Great park. Easy access to the Tobacco Trail. Good playground as well.

Great place for activities. Recently renovated the turf field.

Great playground structure. Clean. Popular park because of the sports fields.

Great place to run

Very nice soccer field and close to the American Tobacco Trail

Awesome for Rugby

Good point to park to get on trail

One of durhams best parks, my 5 year old loves the climbing structures

Everything looked to be in good order.

Large community park and playground area. Multiple playground fields (one soccer, two baseball, and two multipurpose fields.) Restrooms and water fountains open year-round except for winter. Access to american tobacco trail which continues for miles both north and south from the park. The ATT (american tobacco trail) is a nice rail converted trail that is paved (for almost all of it) flat and straight.

Great family park

Great Park. Could use more swings, though.

I like it!

Plenty of parking and good greenway access

Great Park. The equipment is well maintained, and its easily accessible from the tobacco trail.

Good park and relaxing
